Here is a step-by-step breakdown of what happens with a DC-coupled system: Sunlight hits the solar panels and the energy is converted to DC electricity. The electricity enters the battery and is stored as DC electricity. The DC electricity then leaves the battery and enters an inverter to be converted into AC electricity the home can use.
